As these three strategies P, Q and R are independent so these will cut cost one after the other.
If initial cost is Rs 100, then
20% cost is cut after initializing strategy P, then cost will remain 80% = 80
further 30% cost is cut after strategy Q, then cost will remain 70% of 80 = 56
further 10% cost is cut after strategy R, then cost will remain 90% of 56 = 50.4

Thus final cost remains 50.4 % of the original cost. Hence net saving is 100 - 50.4 = 49.6 %.

Let S be the sample space.
Here n(S)= 23 = 8
Let E be the event of getting atmost two heads. Then,
n(E) = {(H,T,T), (T,H,T), (T,T,H), (H,H,T), (T,H,H), (H,T,H)}
Required probability = n(E)/n(S) = 6/8 = 3/4.

Given total number of students in the class = 21

So each student will have 20 greeting cards to be send or receive (21 - 1(himself))

Therefore, the total number of greeting cards exchanged by the students = 20 x 21 = 420.

Here in 2nd column if you add the individual digits

 we get  3 + 7 + 0 =10 , 2 + 2 + 4 = 8 , 7 + 3 + 0 = 10

7   10   3  --> 7+3 =10

6   8     2  --> 6+2 =8

x   10   1  --> x+1 =10

Here we can observe that by adding 1st and 3rd column elements we get 2nd column elements

 --> x = 9

In the figure, there are 21 columns containing 2 cubes each and 4 columns containing 1 cube each. 

∴Total number of cubes = (21 x 2) + (4 x 1) = 42 + 4 = 46.

Now, the distance covered by Chennai express in 2 hrs = 60 x 2 = 120 kms

Let the Charminar Express takes 't' hrs to catch Chennai express

=> 80 x t = 60 x (2 + t)

=> 80 t = 120 + 60t

=> t = 6 hrs

Therefore, the distance away from Hyderabad the two trains meet = 80 x 6 = 480 kms.

Total number of letters in the word ABYSMAL are 7

Number of ways these 7 letters can be arranged are 7! ways

But the letter is repeated and this can be arranged in 2! ways

Total number of ways arranging ABYSMAL = 7!/2! = 5040/2 = 2520 ways.
